Sentinel Steam bus 'Elizabeth'
A truly lovely sight. If you visit Whitby you won't be able to miss her.
Steam Bus 'Elizabeth' at Whitby
Yes it is steam driven. Being called 'Elizabeth' is is very pertinent in this Jubilee year of course
A superb sight
And of course you can take a trip on it
Built in 1931 at the Sentinel works in Shrewsbury. I well remember the works on my many trips down the A49 to family in South Wales. It went on to become the Rolls Royce works I believe. Class number being DG6P which indicates, Double Geared 6 wheeled Pneumatic tyred.
